-- Steven Shiau <steven@clonezilla.org> Sat, 29 Aug 2026 21:31:00 +0800

Clonezilla live 3.3.3-32

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2026/Aug/12).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 7.1.8-1.
  • GRUB: Set default resolution fallback list to 1024x768 to prevent image distortion and microscopic text.

Clonezilla live 3.3.3-31

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2026/Aug/11).
  • Added package netpbm in the live system.
  • GRUB: prevent microscopic boot menus on 4K/HiDPI screens. Instead of setting the unscaled native resolution with 'gfxmode=auto' we set a preferred list of resolutions: '1920x1080,1024x768,auto'.
  • Fix console font size auto-detection mismatch on non-KMS/FHD setups.
  • Add option to handle Local Time hardware clock in ocs-live-time-sync:
    1. Detects boot-time parameters (like 'utc=no' or 'live-config.utc=no').
    2. Prompts the user interactively (when offline and in non-batch mode) to choose whether their BIOS clock is set to UTC or Local Time.

Clonezilla live 2.7.0-3

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2020/Oct/16).
  • Implement a better mechanism to run ocs-onthefly: Now ocs-onthefly mainly uses ocs-sr to save the pseudo image, and let partclone do the device to device clone. This is similar to that of Clonezilla lite server. Due to this improvement, some major changes for ocs-othefly in order to sync with that of ocs-sr:
    1. These options have been changed to totally different meanings: -d|--destination|--target was -t|--target -po|--port was -p|--port --net-filter was -i|--filter -p|-pa|--postaction was -pa|--postaction -u|--use-nuttcp was -u|--use-netcat
    2. New options: -t|--no-restore-mbr -t1|--restore-raw-mbr -t2|--no-restore-ebr

By default, the network cloning is changed to use zstd to compress the data instead of gzip.

  • ocs-sr's option -f|--from-part-in-img is changed as -f|--from-part since it now supports both from an image and a device.
  • ocs-update-initrd: Remove useless prompt.
  • cnvt-ocs-dev: dev-fs.list should be converted, too. Add a tag file device_name_converted.info in the converted image.
  • For drbl-ocs.conf:Remove : PARTCLONE_RESTORE_ONTHEFLY_OPT_INIT
    Add
    ONTHEFLY_NET_PIPE="nuttcp" NC_PORT_DEFAULT="9000" PARTCLONE_LOG="/var/log/partclone.log"
  • If a disk has not any partition, it can not be the source for ocs-onthefly. It will just quit to avoiding confusion.
  • Add "--rsyncable" for zstd saving.
  • Since zstdmt is equivalent to zstd -T0, remove "-T${cpu_no}" in extra_zstdmt_opt.
  • Use -np|--net-pipe PROGRAM instead of -u|--use-netcat in ocs-onthefly so that it's easier to switch, and it can be selected in the expert mode.

Clonezilla live 2.4.9-11

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Oct/17).
  • Force to make timeout of dhclient as 60 secs. Debian uses 60, but Ubuntu uses 300. Too long. Thanks to Cecile, Adam (Adam.Cecile at hitec lu) for reporting this.
  • Add mechanism to detect bitlocker and Microsoft Reserved Partition (MSR) in ocs-get-part-info.
  • Make system reload keyboard-layout and locales if it's changed in ocs-live-preload.

Clonezilla live 2.4.9-7

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Oct/10).
  • Now ocs-live-preload check if /opt/{overwrite-all-boot-param,overwrite-part-boot-param} exists (Downloaded from root of ocs_preload). File overwrite-all-boot-param is to overwrite the whole /proc/cmdline, while overwrite-part-boot-param only overwrites part of the variables in /proc/cmdline. Especially those "ocs_*" parameters. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea and providing sample codes.
  • The drbl/clonezilla live version info will be put in /etc/ocs/ocs-live.conf, and when an image is saved, the info will be saved in Info-packages.txt.
  • A workaround to avoid the warning: continue: only meaningful in a `for', `while', or `until' loop Because >= bash 4.4 raises it as a warning, and then continue won't be run.
  • Inform kernel partition changes only when disk is not busy. This should solve the issue: https://sourceforge.net/p/clonezilla/bugs/265/

Clonezilla live 2.4.9-1

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Oct/4).
  • Language file hu_HU was updated. Thanks to Greg Marki.
  • Language file ja_JP.UTF-8 was updated. Thanks to Akira YOSHIYAMA.
  • Language file de_DE was updated. Thanks to Michael Vinzenz.
  • Language file fr_FR was updated. Thanks to Jean-Francois Nifenecker.
  • Language file it_IT was updated. Thanks to Gianfranco Gentili.
  • Language file es_ES were updated. Thanks to Juan Ramón Martínez and Alex Ibáñez López.
  • Remove "nodmraid" from boot parameters in drbl-ocs.conf. Now fakeraid/softraid is supported.
  • Boot parameter ocs_overwrite_postaction has higher priority than the action assigned by option "-p" in ocs-sr, and "-pa" in ocs-onthefly. The value for ocs_overwrite_postaction is: [choose|reboot|poweroff]-on-[restoredisk|restoreparts|savedisk|saveparts|clone] E.g., choose-on-restoredisk means the postaction for restoredisk will always be choose no matter what is assigned in -p of ocs-sr or -pa of ocs-onthefly. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for this idea.
  • Add option -sfsck in the menu for ocs-onthefly.

Clonezilla live 2.4.8-10

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Sep/28).
  • Linux kernel was updated to 4.7.5-1.
  • Make Clonezilla live honor boot parameter ocs_live_batch in most of the programs. So now the boot parameters like: ocs_live_run="ocs-sr -x --batch -p reboot -scs -scr -sfsck -senc" ocs_live_batch=yes should have less confirmation. Thanks to Aaron Burling (aaron_burling at lkstevens wednet edu) for requesting.

  • Improve ocs-live-run-menu to accept the return code to give proper action.

  • The underlying GNU/Linux operating system was upgraded. This release is based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/Sep/13).

  • Show the abortion prompt by pressing Ctrl-C during reboot/poweroff.
  • Pause when error occurs in the end of Clonezilla live if not in batch mode.
  • Show messages about removing source or destination disk in interactive mode after cloning (ocs-onthefly) is finished.
  • Bug fixed: Replace boot parameter noprompt with noeject since live-boot >= v3 uses noeject, not noprompt.
